immediately exchanged the filter and used up filter to disposal. It prevents spread of infection. The vessel
content is decontaminated in a way utilised on site and the vessels including hoses are submerged into
the disinfection solution. Keep the following rules during maintenance of the polycarbonate secretion
reservoir and silicone hoses:
•
Do not use abrasives
•
Check the compatibility of polycarbonate and detergents used in the hospital. Polycarbonate
enters into reaction with aldehyde residues, which are always present after use of disinfection
solutions containing formaldehyde, glyoxale, glutaraldehyde
•
Since we cannot know the whole range of cleaning and sterilization agents used in hospitals, we
recommend to contact your suppliers and consult the compatibility of their agents and
polycarbonate. Disinfection agents proved to be successful in practice are sekusept and
chloramine (Formalin and organic solvents are prohibited)
•
Before putting into autoclave wash the bottle thoroughly and dry in order to remove all residues of
disinfection agents and water
•
Put the bottle into autoclave always upside down without contact with other components
•
Autoclave the bottle and the cover always separately
•
Do not put heavy subjects on the bottle in the autoclave to prevent its deformation
•
Autoclave the polycarbonate and silicone hoses at temperatures not exceeding 121°C max. for
the period of 20 min.), autoclave mode „RUBBER“.
The microbiologic filter is disposable. The filter replacement when it has blocked with liquid or dirty over
time. The microbiologic filter protected in the main patient or operating personnel into the face of infection
and protect together suction unit for overflow secretion.
The plastic case, holders, truck and other equipment can be cleaned with soft, wet cloth moistened by
cleaning agent, which does not react with the plastic and its surface finish,(SEKUSEPT). Agents with
organic solvents are prohibited.
Also cleaning agents based on synthetic spirit (OKENA) are suitable, but also disinfection agents on the
basis of sprays can be used.
Important! It is necessary to disconnect the mains cord before cleaning the unit. During cleaning the
electric connectors, switch and the mains socket must be protected against water or cleaning agents, do
not submerge the unit into water.
Note: No lubrication is necessary.
